Same. In the previous version I always used the world map. I only switched to IFR if I needed to look at an airway or find a waypoint. 

Still haven't found the world map. It's probably there though - somewhere 🙂

I found I can do it somewhat using the VFR map and turning off all filters except for 'infrastructure'. I also turn on 'base' to add terrain.

You really think they bought Simbrief because it's planning was more efficient?

Of you select Ifr and delete all the Airways etc. and add city names, terrain then it is even better imo!

Not too happy about this update.  I no longer have access to any charts or even a subscription after iOS update.  It wants to charge me an additional 70-some euros after I just paid 60 in September.  The website literally says "no active subscription".

They bought Simbrief to eliminate a competitor.

I plan my flights in Simbrief, select appropriate SIDs and STARs, done. Simbrief also provides all the other information needed for a flight. 

 

I never said I don’t use SimBrief. What I said is that, for finding routes between remote or not very popular airports, Navigraph always has a good suggestion, whereas SimBrief often offers nothing.

In those cases, I use Navigraph to find the route, adjust it as needed and then paste it on SimBrief to get an actual flight brief.

yep agree that  what  i do some  times  use  navigraph copy  the  route  to sim brief 

For quick planning of shorter IFR or VFR flights I always use Navigraph. Add in a waypoint or two, nothing complicated, set up an approach etc. For airliner IFR flights I always use Simbrief then load the flight plan into Navigraph. I think one of the best new features is that charts are automatically added. But I'm still having trouble navigating through the interface as it's so different.

Navigraph should stick with providing a chart viewer and updating navdata. The rest is mostly visual knick knacks. Can't comment on the vfr stuff. 

How many people really use the Navigraph flight planner? 

I do. It serves my needs very well and saves me from having to jump from app to app to app. At this point my only major complaint with Navigraph Charts is that the new interface isn't implemented in the in-game chart app. But hopefully that will come sometime later down the road if the technical limitations can be overcome.

another  good  feature is  when you zoom into a airport  gives more  info  than  before

For those who use the in-game toolbar - It looks like Navigraph might be releasing an update for it soon with support with their latest Charts 8 release after overcoming some technical/dev issues.
